Simple solutions turn heads
I'm a second year Computer Science PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
advised by Professor Mohit Gupta. We believe in pushing the limits of consumer grade imaging across the perception triangle: low-light, extreme motion and dynamic range.
I have been fortunate to work with many brilliant professors and experts throughout my journey.
Prof. Renu Rameshan ignited my interest in computer vision early during my Bachelor's at IIT Mandi which also led me to exploring generative modeling for outdoor lighting during my junior year with Prof. Jean-François Lalonde and Dr. Yannick Hold-Geoffroy.
After graduating, I spent a wonderful year at IIT Madras getting closer to sensors alongside developing 3D reconstruction and generative editing methods as a Bosch AI Research Fellow at the Computational Imaging Lab directed by Prof. Kaushik Mitra.
Interestingly, my vision sensors and generative interests got a human touch to them as I spent the summer of '24 at Computational Behaviour Lab, advised by
Prof. Antti Oulasvirta and now Professor, Yue Jiang.
Apart from research, I enjoy riding my motorcycle, baking and trekking. My previous trek (8th) was Sandakphu-Phalut in the Himalayas overlooking the majestic sleeping Buddha.
I also love to travel during the holidays to meet my close friends Julian Fabinc and Noemi Ippolito.
